Plan Your Purchase

When planning a garage door purchase, it's crucial to consider various factors to ensure you choose the right door for your needs:

  • Measurements: Measure your garage opening accurately, considering both height and width.
  • Material: Decide on the material that suits your requirements, whether it's the classic beauty of wood or the durability of steel.
  • Style: Consider the style of the door, insulation options, and the type of opener that will work best for your setup.

Understanding these elements will streamline the decision-making process and lead you to the perfect garage door for your home.

Purchase and Pre-installation Inspection

Once you've found the right garage door, our team schedules an on-site pre-installation check and evaluation of your garage door openings. After your inspection, your installation team will share project details and answer any questions you may have.

Preparation for Installation:

On installation day, our qualified technicians ensure a smooth transition from start to finish. Expert installation and thorough testing guarantee we always get it right the first time. Here are a few things to keep in mind for your garage door installation day:

1. Ensure Easy Access
  • Driveway & Walkway: Make sure they’re clear of vehicles or any other obstructions.
  • Functional Pathway: Clear the path from their vehicle to the door installation site. This ensures they can easily transport tools and the door itself.
2. Prepare Your Garage
  • Ensure your garage is cleaned out for the technicians to install your new garage door and connect it to your existing or new garage door opener. If you have any questions about the requirements, please contact your Ribbon™ Distributor.
3. Prepare for Pets and Kids
  • Doors, tools, and installation activities might intrigue pets and kids. To ensure their safety (and prevent distractions for the installation team), keep them in a separate room or arrange for someone to watch over them during the installation process.
4. Double-Check the Weather
  • While Ribbon™ professionals are equipped to work in various weather conditions, extremely adverse weather can cause delays. Keep an eye on forecasts and discuss potential rescheduling options in advance if the weather looks unfavorable.
5. Keep Open Communication
  • Communication is key. If there are any specific requirements, concerns, or last-minute changes, don’t hesitate to communicate with our team. This ensures both parties are on the same page, making the installation process seamless.
6. Set Realistic Expectations
  • Lastly, understand that while our team strives for perfection and efficiency, unforeseen challenges may arise. Trust that we’ll always work to ensure the highest quality installation and handle any obstacles with professionalism.
By partnering with us and following the steps outlined above, you’re setting the stage for a successful installation and a product that will serve you well for years to come. With Overhead Door™ Brand, you can expect a seamless, professional installation experience. Contact your local distributor to start your garage door project!
